Labour Party Says APC Can’t Stop Defections
The Labour Party (LP) has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) doesn’t have the authority to stop defectors from coming into its party.
The LP also urged the APC to stop making dictatorial and anti-democratic pronouncements while pretending to be democratic.
The comments were made on Thursday, April 23, 2015, via a statement issued by LP National Secretary, Kayode Ajulo.
The statement reads:
“The statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of APC, Lai Mohammed, shows that the party is bereft of knowledge of rules and norms guiding party membership.”
“For the avoidance of doubt, no registered party has the power to shut its doors against Nigerians, especially a registered party. And in any case, it is rather preposterous that an APC that was cobbled out of a motley array of parties, including defectors from PDP is now the one pretending as if it were different from PDP.”
“Instead of engaging in distractions and frivolities, the APC should pay more attention to how to fulfill its campaign promises.”
APC National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed had earlier told aspiring defectors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that they were no longer welcome into the APC.
The APC has witnessed a mass influx into its party following its resounding victory in the recently held general elections

Striking workers in Akwa Ibom have blocked the entrance to the State House of Assembly following a disagreement with the state government regarding salaries.
The workers embarked on a three-day warning strike in Uyo, the state capital, on Thursday, April 23, 2015.
The trouble was said to have started after the government refused to honour an agreement it had reached with the workers’ union on the payment of salaries according to the new consolidated structure.
The state employees, numbering more than 100, brandished various obejcts and prevented visitors from gaining access to the complex.
The State Chairman of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria, Kufre-Abasi Aderi told journalists that the union workers had decided to embark on the strike following the failure of the government to abide by the 21-day ultimatum it was given.
“Consequent upon this, the entire staff of the state House of Assembly, after due consultation, unanimously declared a three-day warning strike from yesterday,” Aderi said.
He said further that the workers would go on an indefinite strike if the government refused to meet their demands after the warning.
